Exactly.  I said that I knew of no SERIOUS side effects, not that there
were no serious side effects.  I listed side effects that I did know of,
such as dizziness, sweating, shaking, slurred speech.  I was also
speaking of primary hypoglycemia, NOT low blood sugar in
hyperglycemics/diabetics brought about by insulin shock.  I am not
diabetic.  I am hypoglycemic.

Thank you for your support Lars.
